THE MYSTERY OF PICASSO, AUGUST 24 AUGUST 30 dir Henri-Georges Clouzot,,Documentary / Art, Not Rated, France, French, 1956, 75 min.
Like a matador confronting a bull, the artist approaches his easel, his eyes blazing. As he wields his brush, we see throughhe canvas as the artwork unfolds, erupts, dances into being before our eyes. Pablo Picasso, the most influential artist of the twentieth century, is making a painting, and Henri-Georges Clouzot, the famous French director (The Wages of Fear, Diabolique), is making a movie.
In 1955, Clouzot joined forces with his friend Picasso to make an entirely new kind of art film a film that could capture the moment and the mystery of creativity. Together, they devised an innovative technique the filmmaker placed his camera behind a semi-transparent surface on which the artist drew with special inks that bled through.
Prix du Jury, Cannes 1956
One of the most exciting and joyful movies ever made Pauline Kael
Amazing. Picasso may be the most original art documentary ever made Newsweek
